So excited to be travelling across Europe with my Buddy Graham B for Sevda and Samuel's Wedding in Detmold.The first leg is a short trip to Cologne or Koln in German.

CURRY WURST!!!!!

WOW WHAT A DAY!Started off at 8am leaving Ilfracombe for London where I dropped the car off at Mum & Dad's.Lovely seeing them all be it very briefly.My first time on a Eurostar and I was very impressed!!! it was very surreal appearing in a different country without having to fly or cross water. In fact not a drop of water was seen. It didn't feel real appearing in France and it wasn't until I saw a van driving on the wrong side of the road I believed it!!!

Within two hours we were in Brussels changing for Cologne and accidentally sat in the first class section. Upon confessing they kindly let us stay!

For the first time since I learned German 20 years ago I have arrived in the country I have always wanted to visit to try out my rusty language skills. I ordered a Curry Wurst and felt a chapter of my life was finally completed after conversing in German - all be it a few sentences!!!
